Acceptable overseas certifications | Specific evidence |

Australia ADR SSM: Australian Motor Vehicle Certification Board Second Stage of Manufacture | The plate/label is silver in colour.

Europe ECWVTA: European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval |
Note 1 A motorhome may have final stage approval to 2001/116/EC provided it was approved to 2007/46/EC or 2018/858/EC at an earlier approval stage (ie there is a base or second stage approval label listing 2007/46/EC in addition to the 2001/116/EC final stage label). |
United States FMVSS: Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards |
Motorhomes, hearses and limousines with an FMVSS approval plate. See Figure 13-1-4 for a sample FMVSS approval plate. Note: Conversion vans (aka day vans) are not motorhomes as they are not a dwelling place. The Transport Agency requires these vehicles to be LVV certified. |
